Do you believe $$$MR. MARKET$$$ has 79 consecutive profitable trades?

[Jim Smith]

I admit, I didn't understand the parameters of Mr.M's picks when I posted.....I didn't realize the holding period was potentially forever....I thought I read where it was limited to six weeks....for me, it's a question of semantics: trading vs investing....for me, anything longer than a few days, and certainly six weeks or more, is investing....
I would like to know how much Mr M's account appreciated in 2005 in percentage terms.....my account was up 20%.

Look at the thread "Mr Market, member profits for 2005, poll" on PAGE 6 of this site.

Ya, that about sums it up doesn't it.....

Jim, I think you'd better improve your manners, zip the lip, and start using the search feature on every page. There is such a thing as forum etiquette. Opinions are welcome, even ones that are contrary to MM's style. I think he's generous to provide you with arena in which to throw around ideas, and I don't think it's too much to expect you to do it in a polite and respectful manner.

Now go post something nice will ya?

The statement is for consecutive "trades" not consecutive picks. Therefore, it is both correct and proveable. There might be a question regarding the efficacy or practice of holding those picks that fail to achieve the 15% goal but not of the premise that the "trades" have been successful.

Yep, you got me there. My mistake. In consecutive trades he is undisputably the best stock picker EVER!!

WOW.....I leave you guys alone for a little bit and what happens?
I had to cut through the testosterone to get into the site!

I have a couple of things to say on this subject:

#1 I am new here Mr Market but I have never doubted your claims.
There are some keen investing minds on this site and I know your
claims are valid in order to attract that level of investors to this
site. Keep up the good work. Whew! Glad we have that straight.
I'm new here and I’d hate to be on the wrong side of those
biceps....... I’m just a little thing.

#2 Jim, chill dude. I’m a redhead with a temper so I have to
work on self-control myself. One thing I have learned you catch
way more with honey than vinegar; besides I don’t have 22" biceps.
If the sugar doesn’t work THEN you bring out the gasoline. Put that
gas can away and try again. You have a great mind...... let’s start
over and forget this happened.

PS: Mr Market if these guys ever get out of hand again let me know
if you need help; my 200 lb dog could use some new chew toys.

[skiracer]

You are the best Ernie.... I think you're an honest dude.

Now if you were an active POTW participant I'd have some more nice things to say....

Now here's a question for the board.... Who here thinks that Lyehopper is insensitive?

Is the Pope really Catholic? Is Correta King black? Is Ernie somewhat egocentrical? If it smells like shit do you have to taste it to be sure it is shit. If you put a match to your ass and fart will it light? Is piss wet. Can the holder of the goji brandy do no wrong? Is Webs a legend? Can Ray throw darts with either hand? Will you go blind if you masturbate more than 4 times a week? Does your wife really love you. Do you really love your wife? Are Nacluv's really Vulcans? Why is the sky blue daddy? Does your nose really grow if you lie. Is DSteckler really Dave Steckler. Is this Nirvana? Is GOOG going to recoup. Is a pile of shit really 4 little poops? Is the answer to any of these questions yes an is Lyehopper really insensitive? I don't know but he is the holder of the goji.

I personally wouldn't want that on my conscience no matter how studied the opinion is.....But good luck with #80.

I have been around here for little over a year and have profited by Mr. Markets picks. His stock picking record speaks for it's self, "If you can walk the walk, then you can talk the talk."
I have also met Mr. Market in Atlantic City, he is the nicest and most humblest guy you will ever meet. I also think he is very hoonest.

What is hoonest? Most humblest. Did he pay you for this endorsement? I hope he does well with #80 as I bought it myself today at $20.60.

[spikefader]

lol @ ski, shadow, and then ski again.

I think No. 80 is at a 4 with subwaves right now ski; I may just buy it tomorrow too.

Now here's a question for the board.... Who here thinks that Lyehopper is insensitive?

I was going to start a poll with that question...But I think the polls only go up to 999 and since there are 1600 members I didn't want to take a chance that the whole internet would explode when the 1,000th vote was cast...One way or the other

[IIC]

Hey...BTW...I'd like to know why nobody ever doubted me when I said

"I gave up CANSLIM when I had 79 consecutive 7% losers in a row"

Not one Doubting Thomas or Thomasina on the whole Net...And heck...I made it up...IIC
